  • @Bill said: Do you see that there is no rationalization in my support of Trump? Afraid that's a no from me dog. When the guy's campaign aides get indicted you emphasize the distance from him, when he bickers with a war widow you say the p…
  • Hating the people on your team is definitely a risk.
  • The "customers' yachts" thing was referring to the people buying the ad (from Google etc). That said, I skimmed the article looking for the part where he'd admit that online ads come with incredibly robust analytics, and explain why that doesn'…
  • Overwatch is fun for multiplayer. There's no progression of any kind, so no grinding, raiding, etc.
  • @Bill said: By the way, your premise is incorrect. I'm not biased to like Trump. I didn't say you were biased to like Trump, because that would be speculating about information I don't have. I said that you made a bunch of claims that a p…
  • I've actually never looked closely at it. I'm really curious but some part of me is certain I'd either hate it or like it way too much.
  • Hehe, fair enough. But don't you want to try a real game like EVE? (sinister laugh)
  • PPS: linking a column subheaded "The Left Unhinged" in your post about how the media is too liberal was a touch of class.
  • @Bill said: We having members of the press acting overtly partisan. That is new. They have been partisan for decades, at least, but this is the first time they haven't bothered being subtle about it. By the way, the war widow thing was spu…
  • Dude, you can't just say "pay to win" and then "check it out" in the same sentence...
  • I hope the liberal media reports this Manafort thing in a way that's 50% positive to Trump.
  • @Bill said: I started purposefully paying attention to the political news, as opposed to just casually picking things up, when I was a senior in high school, so that would be 1982-1983. Since then, I've tried to keep at least half an eye on it. I…
  • @Bill said: Take a look at the sixth graph from the top, a pie graph stating that the coverage of Trump was four times negative to positive. Where did you get the idea that unbiased coverage of Trump would be 50% positive? His newsworthy …
  • What you said was that you had an informed opinion about mainstream US media and that you have no idea what Fox is or does. I told you those claims are contradictory. Honestly, think this through for a minute. The Republican party, which Fox News…
  • @Rufus said: That's the most depressing/discouraging thing I've read in a very long time. Worry not, Fox isn't as influential as you think. My esteemed colleague, who's never seen it and has no idea what it does, will explain why.
  • And the NYT publishing a 10-12 day barrage of "her emails" articles, yeah. Good point, all is in doubt, so nothing is true. Trump could even have a foreign policy! Only God can know!
  • @Bill said: * If they are inclined to terrorism, a few white nationalists can do a lot of damage. In terms of political power, though, they are a small force. You haven't been paying attention, there's a fair argument that they…
  • @Clme said: White nationalists are a lot better organized than BLM. BLM is more a hashtag than an organization. I mean, there's an organization, but if Bill can name three prominent members I'll eat my spare tire, rim and all, as the man …
  • @Bill said: I don't watch Fox News. It's my understanding that The New York Times sets the national conversation. Fox News is the most-watched cable channel, let alone news channel. The sitting president tweets about it daily, talk shows …
  • @Bill said: As for sentences being contradictory, how so? I don't use Fox News. That doesn't imply that I don't use other news sources. As written. If you honestly don't know what happens at Fox News then you don't know what the media is …
  • If you're comfortable doing it you can just do it in the style of Theseus's ship. Replace the PSU now, the GPU next year, etc, until you have a new PC. (Or do you?!)
  • Aside: from where I sit the existential threat facing the US is scorched-earth factionalism. Most people there just don't seem to see themselves as being on the same team.
  • @Bill said: The stuff that I dismissed as trivia I find trivial. It's also so politically infected that it's unreliable. The man generates controversies for a living. If you wanted to bias someone into liking him, how would you do it? Per…
  • @Bill said: There is a whole bunch of stuff that gets spun this way by one group and that way by another group, and I just ignore it all as trivia. On things that matter: This is delusional. What we objectively know about his activities i…
  • @Bill said: I've never declared to particularly like the man. He was the best candidate on immigration, which I believe is the most important issue of today. Remember that Hillary promised more of the same, but even more so. Trump doesn…
  • Hey @eod - check out the funky IP address I'm posting from. ~~
  • We're not in the subjunctive mood anymore, the dude's been president for nine months. Why do you like him now?
  • When I see each latest Trump idiocy, I sometimes wonder if Bill is still into him, and if so how he rationalizes it.
  • https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/heres-how-breitbart-and-milo-smuggled-white-nationalism Apparently a bunch of emails have been leaked, leading to this exposé of how the sausage is made down at Breitbart. Bannon is quite the true b…
  • Ooh, weird. Probably because I posted from a phone?
